MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut fire official now says it's unclear whether everyone is accounted for after a massive explosion that killed at least five people at an under-construction power plant.
Middletown Deputy Fire Marshal Al Santostefano had said Sunday night that officials believed no one was missing amid the rubble. But on Monday morning he said rescue crews still haven't been able to search a section of the plant that remains unstable, and it was impossible to know if there were victims in that area.
Local fire investigators and federal authorities on Monday were expected to begin their investigation into what caused Sunday morning's explosion at the Kleen Energy Systems plant in Middletown, about 20 miles south of Hartford.
A dozen or more others were hurt in the blast.
